Hey, everybody!

You are my best resource for helping picking out great new songs for the Life Teen Band. I need your recommendations to help narrow down my search from the cajillions of songs out there. If there’s a song that you think would be a great addition for us, please email me. Let me know as much about the song as possible: Title, Who Performs It, Lyrics (if possible), links to the tune (if possible). And you give me lots of recommendations. That’d be dandy.

Know that I’m really picky, and there’s a reasonably good chance we won’t incorporate your favorite song. At least not right away. Don’t take it personally. I’ve got lots of considerations in mind like whether or not the lyrics are “useful” from a liturgical standpoint, whether it’s stylistically reasonable for our parish, whether it’s theologically sound, whether our band is talented enough to play it! All kinds of things come into play, the least of which is whether or not we LIKE the song.

But I really need your help because you’re out there listening already, knowing what you love, so please share it with me, and let me feel the love, too!

Thanks!
